9. Make sure each circuit moved is protected by the same
size breaker in the transfer switch. 15 Amp circuits must be
connected to 15 Amp breakers and 20 Amp circuits to 20
Amp breakers.
10. Connect the provided large neutral to the neutral bar in the
distribution panel.
11. Install a 2-pole breaker in the distribution panel to protect
the transfer switch. The required amp rating of the breaker
depends on which transfer switch is used. The breaker in
pre-wired load center switches cannot exceed 70 Amps.
This breaker must be compatible with the existing electrical
distribution panel.
Install the breaker in two adjacent empty slots (one above the
other) in the main panel.
12. When all priority circuits have been moved to the transfer
switch, close the main breaker to restore utility power and
make sure utility voltage at the transfer switch is correct.
Refer to NFPA 70-E for the safety equipment required when
working inside a live transfer switch.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. A Group 26R battery is recommended for these generators.
2. Follow all of the procedures and safety precautions in the
generator Owner's Manual when installing the battery.
Verify the switch is in the off position. When preparing for
operational testing, DO NOT connect the battery until transfer
switch connections are complete.
GENERATOR ACTIVATION
When battery power is applied to the generator during the
installation process, the controller will light up. However, the
generator still needs to be activated before it will automatically run
in the event of a power outage.
Activating the generator is a simple one time process that is
guided by the controller screen prompts. Once the product is
activated, the controller screen will not prompt you again, even if
you disconnect the generator battery.
After obtaining your activation code, please complete the following
steps at the generator's control panel in the Activation Chart
(shown on the following page).
